Ja, det stämmer ju att det inte är logiskt, USA kan inte både bekämpa IS och Assad. De har liksom lagt krokben för sig själva, det logiska vore förstås att agera som förut; att strunta i vilka det är som slåss mot Assad, beväpna alla grupper som gör det, inklusive IS.
Varför gör de inte som de gjort i 4,5 år? På grund av världsopinionen förstås. Och naturligtvis Ryssland. Precis som världsopinionen bidrog till att vietnameserna vann kriget 1975, bidrar den nu till att stoppa USAs plan.
Citat:
‘Lawless’ Washington committing crimes against Syria – and the US Constitution
Damascus is opposed to having US troops on its soil, thus the US is committing aggression and international crimes against the nation of Syria, says Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute.
RT: Assistant Secretary of State for Near-Eastern Affairs Anne Patterson admits that some of the "moderate" rebels have joined the Nusra Front. Is it surprising that the US government continues to use the term "moderate" to describe rebel fighters?
Daniel McAdams: Well, I think as Patterson said they have moved over. Look, this new Syrian Democratic Force that is supposedly being armed in Eastern Syria - doesn’t exist. Even The New York Times which is no oppositionist to the war and US actions in Syria has said it is a figment of the imagination; just like the Syrian Arab Coalition was a figment of America’s imagination; just like the so-called Khorasan group was a figment of imagination.
These are propagandistic terms that the US uses to justify a policy that continues in an active phase after four years and actually much longer if you look at the 2006 decision to overthrow the Assad government. Anne Patterson said it herself before the House Foreign Affairs Committee just this week. The US goals are exactly the same as they have been before Russia joined – which is to overthrow ISIS and to overthrow Assad. So these things haven’t changed and there is no US strategy to do these things and there cannot be, because the two are opposed in logic.
